The lawmakers have not filed even though a period of over two weeks has passed since the expiry of the last date specified under law, a source told Dawn Wednesday.

The law says the election commission should have suspended their membership Oct 15 through a notification.

Submitting the asset and liability statement is a mandatory requirement for the members of the senate and the national and provincial assemblies. The annual statements have to be for themselves, their spouses and dependents.
